Common Ground held it's very first Christmas Eve service.
The staff and volunteers cleared out the room and set up tables. The room was decorated with Christmas trees, a manger scene (Created from one fo the broken pews from the former church), and strategically placed poinsettias brightened the room.
Families were encouraged to join in on the family activities and create different elements on their tables. A ton of different desserts and egg nog was served. The room was filled with friends and neighbors!
We showcased the variety of talents of our families at Common Ground. Julie and Mike Scott played our emcees for the night. Bridget Gordon and family came and sang an original song and then shared an interpretive dance. Julio and Krystal Cruz did an interview of a couple of our families to talk about Christmas traditions for different perspectives. Danny shared a short message and the night finished with a great solo by Carlos Cortijo and Mary Lou Harden.
Merry Christmas to all. Thank you so much for making our first Christmas a very special one.
